I have not ordered from them, but you can always check Garden Watch Dog for ratings. Looks like theirs is not too positive (more negatives than positives).

I ordered from them once, years and years ago. The plants arrived dead. Everyone I know who has ordered from them has not had good things to say: tiny plants, dead plants, you get the picture. Be very careful if ordering from them.

Michigan Bulb is associated with 8 other companies and operates from Lawrenceburg, IN.
Any company that operates from addresses in Lawrenceburg, IN, Bloomington, IL and TyTy, GA would merit very close scrutiny, IMO

Don't order from them! I had a friend who ordered from them years ago and I added a few things to her order for myself. They sent small, bareroot, bone dry, DEAD plants.

Thanks Everyone! That's what I kind of figured, but you can't help but get sucked into their GREAT prices. Just have to remember, you get what you pay for. Sounds like with this, sometimes you don't even get what you pay for. :-)

You can also search PlantFiles at Dave's Garden (host of Garden Watchdog) for suppliers for plants and review people's ratings of the suppliers. For instance, I found about Brent & Becky's Bulbs there. I've ordered from them the last two years and been very satisfied, in case you're interested in bulbs. (Some reviews said that B&B's bulbs were "HUGE," but I've found them to be the full, natural size, such as you'd find at any reputable garden store like Hastings or Pike.)

We used to order from them and Brecks many, many years ago before the internet really caught on. We usually only ordered bulbs but they often were not suited to our Southern climate and once we became a little more knowledgeable we realized the prices were very high too. There's alot more selection on bulbs now, in nurseries and even in the big box stores and you can often find the same things MI Bulb Company is offering in the same bulb sizes or better for much less. Unless you're going for something like the "glad grab bag" or one of their introductory offers where you only pay postage. Otherwise the rest is usually a rip off even if it lives. Sometimes they'll carry things you can't find most anywhere else but whether they perform in this climate is still a gamble for the price based on our experiences.
